Open-closed duality and double scaling

چکیده
Nonperturbative terms in the free energy of Chern-Simons gauge theory play a key role in its duality to the closed topological string. We show that these terms are reproduced by performing a double scaling limit near the point where the perturbation expansion diverges. This leads to a derivation of closed string theory from this large-N gauge theory along the lines of noncritical string theories. We comment on the possible relevance of this observation to the derivation of superpotentials of asymptotically free gauge theories and its relation to infrared renormalons.

Closed strings from nothing
We study the physics of open strings in bosonic and type II string theories in the presence of unstable D-branes. When the potential energy of the open string tachyon is at its minimum, Sen has argued that only closed strings remain in the perturbative spectrum. We explore the scenario of Yi and of Bergman, Hori and Yi, who argue that the open string degrees of freedom are strongly coupled and ...
متن کاملString/Gauge Duality and Penrose Limit
Berenstein, Maldacena, and Nastase have recently discovered a particular limit of AdS/CFT correspondence where string theory in a plane wave background is dual to a sector of N = 4 SYM in a double scaling limit. It is based on the observation that a plane wave background can be obtained by taking Penrose limit of Anti de Sitter background. The corresponding gauge theory limit is identified via ...
متن کاملOpen/closed Duality for Fzzt Branes in C = 1
We describe how the matrix integral of Imbimbo and Mukhi arises from a limit of the FZZT partition function in the double-scaled c = 1 matrix model. We show a similar result for 0A and comment on subtleties in 0B.
متن کاملSome relations between $L^p$-spaces on locally compact group $G$ and double coset $Ksetminus G/H$
Let $H$ and $K$ be compact subgroups of locally compact group $G$. By considering the double coset space $Ksetminus G/H$, which equipped with an $N$-strongly quasi invariant measure $mu$, for $1leq pleq +infty$, we make a norm decreasing linear map from $L^p(G)$ onto $L^p(Ksetminus G/H,mu)$ and demonstrate that it may be identified with a quotient space of $L^p(G)$. In addition, we illustrate t...
متن کاملThe Entropy Region is not Closed Under Duality
We import a duality notion coming from polymatroids to define duality for information inequalities. We show that the entropy region for n ≥ 5 is not closed under duality. Our result answers an open question of Matùš [13] (1992).
